These images complete our wonderful feeling of a Holly Jolly Christmas. It was a memorable, fun filled Christmas season at our house. A special first Christmas for the little miss, and a magical holiday for our little man as he finally experienced the wonder of anticipating Santa Claus. 
Omi and Papa joined us a few days before Christmas to ring in the festivities in Atlanta. We were fortunate to have the whole family with us at the traditional Johnson Ferry's Christmas Eve candlelight service. After a party in BridgeMill with friends that feel like family, we headed home to get the kids all snug in their beds. It was a team effort after bedtime to assemble all the toys. Santa's workshop is hard work!
The joy on the kiddos faces is sure worth all the planning, wrapping and assembling. Miller was awe struck by Santa fulfilling his request for a motorized Publix truck. It's amazing how that happens.
The little darlin was content with her pink push al0ng buggy and musical table. Big brother lived in his until he was 2 1/2. Sweet EK bounced up and down in the seat and wouldn't take her hands off the wheel. Papa carted her around the house for a Christmas Day Parade.
Nothing like little sister testing out your new big wheel. She's our little biker chick in training.
A big highlight of the morning was watching Miller discover Santa's secret hiding place in the garage. His face lit up like a Christmas tree when he discovered his own set of wheels, a Cadillac Escalade.
He now has transportation for his first date on the block! Miller needs his learning permit to conquer the rules on our street.
Miller continued his tradition of being Santa's helper and opening everyone's gift. He's so cute when he marvels at what you open sharing in your joy.
The second unwrapping celebration was at Grandmama and Poppy's mid morning with Uncle Clay. More presents awaited for Miller and Eliza Kate's enjoyment.

EK would have been content with tissue and wrapping paper as her gift on Christmas morning.
The men loved playing with Uncle Clay's gift, Criss Cross Crash. It was entertaining to see who could keep adding cars to the motorized track without crashing them.
The icing on the cake was a white Christmas! What a gift from God to see the falling flakes outside the window on Christmas afternoon. It definitely added to the coziness of our Christmas Day dinner. It was a view to behold that looked just like a Christmas card. It's been over 100 years in Atlanta since we've experienced snow of December 25th. It was perfect timing for our sweet thing's first Christmas. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
